Remmina Package Issue

Just after install, I ran into an issue with Remmina not connecting with remote desktop. Come to find out, one of the previous steps I had taken had uninstalled the remmina-plugin-rdp package. I was able to download it and install it, but it broke apt-get.

Here’s the error message:

sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp remmina-plugin-vnc remmina-plugin-nx

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgoo-canvas-perl : Depends: libextutils-depends-perl but it is not going to be installed
                      Depends: libextutils-pkgconfig-perl but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I had previously enabled this repository.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next/ubuntu

That had given me version: 1.2.30.1 (git n/a)

I disabled the repository using the software and updates GUI. Then, I ran these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt --fix-broken install

Somehow it was enabled again. So, it seems it is fixed even with that repository.
